Well it kind of makes sense. Think about it according to the FBI from 1980 to 2005 6% of all the terror attacks came from Muslims. Strangely, 7% came from Jewish terrorist. The rest are a mix of Left Wing, Right Wing, christian, non-religious, etc. Center for Investigative Reporting took a look at the 201 designated terrorism incidents within the US from 2008 to 2016. Of the 201 terrorism incidents 115 were from Right Wing Terrorist and 63 were from Islamic Terrorist. Islamic Terrorist Killed more people (90 from Islamic and 79 from right wing) in that time period, but 33% of the Right Wing Terrorist actions killed people vs 13% of Islamic. Seems like when Islamic Terrorist do kill people they kill a shit ton at one time.
In the US at least you are more likely to be a victim of Right Wing Terrorism as of late than any other. Luckily it seems the Right Wing Terrorist suck at killing people in their attacks, so we have that going for us. (Victim of terrorist attack doesn't mean killed by the attack in other words)
Now you can argue that the reason Right Wing incidents have increased is our law enforcement has targeted and foiled more Islamic Terror Attacks than all the others. In the time period of 2008-2016 76% of Islamic Attacks were thwarted versus 35% of Right wing. There were 4x as many stings for Islamic Attacks than Right Wing. So It's not completely cut and dry.
